Dan ... I'm pissed off ... back then i was on a grey/black white screen monitor .... sorta like the WWI footage .. Colour had not been invented yet !

[Charl]

See? even back in '84 frame rates were an issue!
What was that 1 fps maybe?
I remember... oh never mind...

I recall you said something about picture framing , so long back now ....... arrr yes ole WW1 frames , i recall last century .. wayyyys back

[Timmo]

haha it's all relative isn't it- I remember being pretty excited Mt Rainier and some buildings were actually rendered....then with FS4 (or 5?) having the small area of 'satellite' imagery and the stadium at Miegs field was pretty exciting too. Your mind always finds a way to fill in the blanks

[Splitpin]

Wow, i cut my f/s teeth on stuff like that. The first time i 'simmed' was on a Dick Smith thing, it was a Learjet (you couldn't see it) but totally engrossing .
Then onto a green screen version of "flight of the intruder" and so we went on

I guess we are spoilt for choice these days, but thats how it works. The changes in tech knowledge since i started are just stunning..... Im glad Im alive now to watch it all happen.
God only knows what the next generation will be looking at.

Think there is many people's working on that now ... maybe still this generation but looking and comparing ten years back today has changed so dramatic in every part... its the two generations later i want to see .

Don't no the circumstance's .. they look like tests but the series 125s are very reliable , sure its a joke vid , swear and curse like that and to race around the cabin with a video cam .. course the 125 wingbox's are very stiff altho they have changed much to composites .
